Invitation for Prayer
Become a Stephen Minister—REGISTER TODAY! “We live in a world that encourages us to focus on ourselves—so much so that people don’t even anticipate how healing it will be to focus on another person. This actually becomes a big opportunity for the church to really be the church—to be a family for folks who are lonely, searching spiritually, or in pain. But a church can’t be a support system if it isn’t equipped to help people during moments of pain. “ John Ortberg
